The Gentle Grifter Comes Home
Aired: Feb 23rd, 1950. A confidence man with a 35-year rap sheet resurfaces in Los Angeles, working a slick used-car swindle that leaves two dealers out $2,000 apiece — and too scared of a lawsuit to fight back. Sergeants Friday and Romero pull his mile-long rap sheet and haul him in, but with no crime they can pin on paper, they can only warn him to get out of town before he runs the con again. A sharp, understated look at how a career swindler stays just inside the law.
